It isn't just about bands playing cover music. It's the ones who say ridiculous things like "That's not how the solo goes". Not how the solo goes?......

.....

Yet how many bands actually waste rehearsal time over silly crap like that?

Answer: every copy band everywhere.



And this is a GOOD thing IMHO!!!! If you are making a living at this you need to do it right, be it originals OR copy...the public is not a bunch of fools, most of the time they know the tune better than some musicians!

Whether Sinatra sang songs written by other people or not is not the issue. It's about "The Booze Hounds" playing Joe's Bar. That is reality. If The Booze Hounds are happy and make a living playing 3 hours of Beatles and Stones covers, god bless them.



If I am taking this out of context, please forgive me, but your generalization that the topic I started was about a bunch of "Booze Hounds", or poor players, or weekend warriors, then YOU miss the point. And I say this because of the "That is reality." comment.

Personal attacks & name calling, even if it is not aimed at anyone, can be just as insulting as if it WAS aimed at someone. I have no animosity towards you Eddie, but it seems like you need to drive home your bitterness allot, and get very verbose if no one agrees with ya.

I hope you don't drop out of the thread just because of this.....
